Goli Kouhkan, a 25-year-old child bride, faces execution in Iran for the killing of her abusive husband. She was convicted of participating in the killing of her husband, which occurred after years of suffering physical and emotional abuse. Under Iranian law, Kouhkan can be spared if she pays 10 billion tomans (approximately £80,000) to the victim’s family, a sum she is unlikely to obtain, and is representative of the discriminatory treatment of women and minorities in Iran. Human rights groups condemn the case, citing the rising number of executions, particularly of women, and the lack of legal protections against domestic violence and forced marriage within the country. Kouhkan is Baluch, a marginalized ethnic minority, and was married at 12, a situation reflective of the poverty and lack of rights faced by women in Iran.

During a speech at the Museum of the Bible, President Trump asserted that crime in Washington, D.C. was nearly eradicated due to the presence of federal troops, claiming the city was now a “totally safe zone.” He expressed frustration with the inclusion of domestic disturbances in crime statistics, suggesting these inflated the numbers. However, Trump’s statements are dubious, as D.C. was not the most dangerous city before his intervention and he has faced numerous allegations of abuse and has been convicted of crimes himself. Furthermore, a federal appeals court upheld an $83 million defamation judgment against him, adding to his legal issues.

The story of Buford Pusser, the lawman who supposedly cleaned up a corrupt town with a big stick, was a cornerstone of American folklore. “Walking Tall,” the movie, was a hit, making Pusser a symbol of righteous fury against injustice. But now, the truth is rearing its ugly head, and it’s a far cry from the heroic narrative we were sold. The very foundation of the story appears to have been built on a lie.… Continue reading
